Evelyn & Olive, located in The Edge district of Memphis, is a small, locally-owned restaurant combining the food heritages of its married owners: Southern U.S. and Jamaican. It has a vegetarian section of the menu with both vegetarian and vegan options, plus it has some vegetarian salads, sides, and sandwiches. Most of the vegetarian options would be easy to order as vegan, omitting the cheese. The atmosphere is colorful, eclectic, cozy, and diverse, plus the food is tasty and affordable! The tofu and black bean tacos with kiwi salsa are highly recommended. This restaurant also serves wine, beer, and cocktails. Good for a date or just dinner with friends.
